Crime Attorney General Pam Bondi directs federal prosecutors to seek death penalty for Luigi Mangione - Mangione, 26, was charged with fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City last year.

Attorney General Pamela Bondi on Tuesday directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, the man accused of gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City last year.

Mangione, 26, was federally charged in December with stalking and murdering Thompson after the CEO was fatally shot on the streets of midtown Manhattan. He was also charged with first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism by state prosecutors.

Bondi said that she was directing prosecutors to seek the death penalty as part of "President Trump’s agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again."

"Luigi Mangione’s murder of Brian Thompson — an innocent man and father of two young children — was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America," Bondi said in a statement.

Mangione has pled not guilty to all charges. His lawyer did not immediately return a request for comment about the attorney general's request.

Thompson's Dec. 4 killing and subsequent colossal manhunt for his masked assassin captivated the nation for weeks.

The gunman fled on a bike outside the New York Hilton Midtown, where Thompson was staying for the health care company's annual investors' meeting, police said. City surveillance footage showed the gunman riding into Central Park before disappearing.

Five days later, on Dec. 9, Mangione was recognized in a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, and arrested that day.

honestly Id rather be killed than have to rot in prison for the rest of my innumerable days
dude is still pretty young, could live a while yet

 

[Idiotron]

No one cares about this guy except for the terminally online reddit breadtuber types.

If you ask the average dude on the street they'll be like "a convicted first degree murderer? Yea ok fry em."

Maybe boomers don't know him.
Anybody under 40 seems to be aware of him.

It won't make him a martyr. He murdered somebody and knew full well the consequences could include getting the death penalty for it.

And as we all know, martyrs are picked for logical reasons, hence George Floyd being the biggest recent martyr.

Not to mention the average death penalty conviction takes 20+ years to actually carry out. Few people will give a shit by then

Maybe but the internet never forgets.
When his death will be announced, infkluencers everywhere will dig out his story and make a lot of noise.

CEOs, especially health care, are scum of the earth. But murder is still murder. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. And/or frying your brain on ayahuasca.

Also, as all the Tesla vandalism and arson shows? It's not a better world when CEO's (and by extension, their customers and products) are fair game for anything as long as they're declared "Bad" by .... someone else's opinion.

Functional society requires murder to always be murder.

Good case to seek the death penalty on, it is clear he planned it beforehand for a while.
No "heat of the moment" and no "temporary insanity" pleas for him.

They should livestream the firing squad.

Real though, I like how the courts allow hoodlems, crack heads, corrupt cops, abusive spouses to murder each other in the most brutal ways possible and struggle to even give them more than 10 years in prison in most cases.

But you shoot one rich guy and a woman who looks like a prostitute but is allegedly the attorney general wants you dead now. I know British people like the whole two tier justice term but it's the same here, just rich people get priority.

 

[Sugriva]

Federal charges violate the Double Jeopardy clause, I don't care what the Supreme Court says, and is used as a backstop to ensure enemies of the state (Mangione, Chauvin, and others) are imprisoned.

God forbid a NY state jury acquits. Got to make sure the cathedral's preferred outcome happens at all costs.

Terrorism? Give me a break you blonde dumbass whore AG.

What he did is by definition terrorism. He committed a violent attack that was ideologically and politically motivated.

 

[Hack for crack]

They know that he would be freed under the next liberal president lmao
Also they don't want people inspired by the amount of woman attention he's getting in jail IE fanmail

The women who go crazy for Mangione today are the same women who would've been mailing their panties to Ted Bundy back in the 80s.

He’s not my type. Maybe I wouldn’t have even cared about this story IF, my dad had not just been diagnosed with aggressive cancer and his doctor was refusing surgery until he got a pet scan in order to see how far it has spread and the course of treatment. At the time Mangione shot the death peddler, my father had already been denied 3 times by his insurance.

My father worked his ass off all his life. Never did drugs, never smoked. Started his job in high school and climbed the ladder. He is an amazing man. He’s had the same insurance, uninterrupted for over 30 years. Never had any surgeries and didn’t abuse his insurance.

My parents had to get an attorney to finally force them to provide a pet scan. By then, his cancer had spread to his brain and bones.

I won’t be doing anything other than bitching and venting my spleen. BUT, I won’t bat an eye if someone brutally executed every insurance exec in the world.

 

[Tasty Tatty]

Yes, please, make him a martyr.
This sill only lead to good results.

It has some potential to become another Floyd chimpout, but this time targeted to corpos.

Well, anyway...

 

[Tanuki Mixed Nuts]

Retarded take. He absolutely will be treated as a martyr because there is a significant contingent of people who feel that he did nothing wrong. Rosa Luxembourg and Che Guevara were also undoubtedly criminals yet leftists still obviously simp for them. Hell they simp for George Floyd and he wasn’t even a revolutionary communist.

See, the issue about him being a martyr or something, is that I don't actually give a shit about that. If this makes more lefty spergs kill CEOs? Oopsie doodles! Not my problem. He murdered a dude and should be punished appropriately. If this causes a bunch of retards to do equally pointless acts of attacking CEOs who will be replaced by an equally bad CEO in a couple days, effectively throwing their life away for likes on BlueSky, so be it.

 

[BigPeanut]

Based just because annoying leftoids like him. It’s a good day if the CEO scum die and reddits hero die. Win win, for da chuds!

"If you achieve a certain level of economic success you deserve to be brutally murdered in the street like a dog" is not a helpful or productive line of thought in a civil society.

Functional society requires murder to always be murder.

Except when it's a CEO murdering by paperwork and policy?

Killing a murderer when the law does nothing is justice.

Counter point just because you didn't achieve a certain amount of economic success doesn't mean the courts should treat your murder any less or better.

This shit is so goddamn ignorant and I'm tired of explaining it to people. It reeks of ignorance as to how modern corporations even work. CEOs pretty much have zero power inside of a modern corporation and are basically there just to be the head jannies.

You want to know who is coming up with these policies? It's the people on the corporate advisory boards. Who is on these boards? People who are hand-picked by the hedge funds that own controlling chunks of their stocks. Why are they making these cost decisions at all? Because the federal government keeps interfering with and distorting all insurance markets in the name of muh equity!

So congratulations for cheering in the corner of some psycho rich kid burnout loser who shot literally a random dude with a family, because you've been brainwashed into thinking that corpos are still structured as strong-man organizations like the way that they were in the fucking 1970s. Nobody runs a corporation that way anymore, except for petty tyrant fucks like Mark Zuckerberg who are trying to protect what is actually a private family business but just with a thin illusion of being publicly traded to placate the regulators and the market makers who sell their stock.

The hedge fund managers and the people they install on the boards thanks you for drawing heat far away from them, and that literally line-level employees are getting assaulted and murdered in the street because they took a fucking job for a paycheck, instead of them.

You think you're killing a snake but instead you sliced just one head off the hydra, then turned your back to it and congratulated yourself.

 

[ShitLurker]

Pam fighting hard after the Epstein fuck up to become the shittiest Trump appointment. This is specially impressive when there is a pajeet in there as well.

 

[AMHOLIO]

No matter what happens, he's likely fucked. Even if he goes scott-free, there will be a hit on him is my guess.

 

[TowinKarz]

Killing a murderer when the law does nothing is justice.

"Killing someone who I feel deserves it is justice"

"Killing Trump because the Democrats are too chickenshit and do nothing about his dictatorship is justice"

"Killing Tesla drivers because the law does "nothing" about their support of a Nazi is justice"

Nah.

Wack post. "Tesla vandalism" has fuck all to do with this (to be clear though, the more of them burn, the better), and murder isn't murder if you redefine it with whatever term CEOs use to murder people legally. See: health insurance in the U.S.

I didn’t do anything except bitch on a forum.

I also believe that if you work for and carry out orders that intentionally defraud, hurt and kill people, Orders and practice you know damn well are bad, but do them anyway for financial advancement, you’re not a good guy.

Everyone who works for corporations and entities that have evil business practices are complicit. Personally accountability is making a comeback.
